I am sometimes think that I am very good at one thing – which is “hot-hot chicken shit”. I will push hard on doing certain things, and when I felt bored, I will just let it go! It is amazing to be honest that I can do such things. There has been so many instances in life that I continue to do it, and there will be a time when I want to dive into the thing again, and I will get back to it. Haih. Sometimes it does cost me a lot of money.

Honestly – I do have a lot of things in my mind. In fact there are problems in life that I have and I continuously push it aside by putting on a different focus. Well it does work. Just that when I start to be excited about certain things – I just go all the way. So far – I have not had such episode, but I need to manage it. Maybe because lately I’ve been enjoying the work that I do thus the focus has been about work.

I do what to get back to photography – but I am delaying it because I don’t spend too much money if I cannot decide to commit to it. Yes I do have an excellent camera but to be able to do some great photography – I need one with an interchangeable lens. I know I will fall back to a street photography which is what my current camera is for, but there are times when you wish you have a better camera. But lets see. I do have time.

Some of my neglected interest is sketching. I do like sketching to be honest, but because of my failing eyesight, I tend to just put it aside because its very hard for me to draw without wearing reading glasses (yes I do have one).

Details details!

With my new job – I guess I do have a lot of time with me now. Yes – a lot of time. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve been catching up with a lot of my old colleagues and friends. Some are because they asking me for advice and some is just a catchup.. gossip and such. It has been great. But I need to find some sort of a pace in which I have a good balance of what I want to do.

There are few things on my head now:

I want to write more (on this blog of course).

I want to draw (yes yes)

I want to read – and finish off my book on banking

I want to run more (yes I do run at times when my feet doesn’t kill me)

I want to play more golf (time to get back to the greens!)

See there are so many things. Writing, reading and draw can be done at any time. I can do it before I go to sleep whilst run and golf will need to be a bit more planning because I need to bring my set and stuffs to work. The good things is of course run and golf place that I go to – I can charge my car (yes I do have a plug in hybrid).

I haven’t got time to blog about that, but I will certainly do that. Now its the second week that I am using the car. A lot of the issues has been resolved but I certainly still getting use to the car.

I need to write more. Seriously. Its more fun to write, it some sort of meditating to be honest.

It has been quiet a while since I last posted on this blog. I have been doing a lot of riding every week. Clocking mileage for my bike. A lot of them. In fact in the past couple of weeks since I picked up my bike I have clocked almost 3500km. Its great.

The photo below shows me on my bike along a dirt road parallel to the paddy field somewhere in between Teluk Intan and Kampar.

The photo below shows my bike along the same road.

Trended: Diamondback hook.Honestly – there are a couple of reasons why I bought this bike. I could have stayed with my RT but the problem with the RT is that I won’t be able to go places where usually I don’t go. I.e. going for dirt road like this. Not that with the GS I have the balls of riding thru it!

But I guess as I ride more I will be better at it. The problem with riding the GS Adventure is that it is extremely heavy. Heavier than shit. With fully loaded fuel – it is hard to lift! But I guess as I get better at it, I will be more confident to do complex steering! Like U turn and shits.

Anyway – yesterday was a 400km ride. When I woke up in the morning I know that I wanted to ride but I did not have any destination. Just wanted to ride far because I had some things in my mind that I wanted to clear off. It has been quite a challenging couple of days – so some alone time is definitely good.

So – I woke up, shower and rode off in the morning! Here is somewhat my itinerary:

KL – Sungkai via E1 – boring ride to Sungkai. Straight boring highway ride, but I wanted to get out of the city the fastest possible without encountering any traffic. My bad, the highway was so damn heavy. At Sungkai – I had some breakfast near Pasar Sehari. I must say the nasi lemak there was really good.

Sungkai to Teluk Intan From Sungkai I rode thru the B roads to Teluk Intan. I’ve used these roads a lot of times. Its all familiar. I was trying hard to avoid Road number 1 because that central spine road is really busy.

Teluk Intan to Kampung Gajah Before reaching Teluk Intan I made a turning off to Kampung Gajah. I was wondering if I will be passing over Pasir Salak. I never been to the museum there and if I do see Pasir Salak, I do want to do a stop over. Maybe another day.

Kampung Gajah to Kampar After reaching Kampung Gajah – I head over to Kampar. Thru old roads passing over old mining villages. Also I was wondering if I would be seeing the tin dredges at Chenderoh. Honestly I don’t know if those dredges still exist, but if they do – it will great on the drone. Unfortunately no. Didn’t see any!

Kampar Once I reached Kampar – I stopped over for a quick drink and ABC. Foong Mun ABC la.. I’ve been here before. It was way too sweet to my liking though. Maybe next time need to ask reduced sugar. Then again, its ABC – it’s fully laden with sweet!

Kampar – Home From Kampar – I rode all the way back. Feel very long because it was extremely heavy. Super heavy indeed. There were a few cars that were very fast. Pretty annoying indeed.

In the past two weeks, I have been riding my bike. Not so much focusing on other things but just riding my bikes. The bike is super awesome. I somewhat rediscover what I enjoy about riding. The first few rides were about getting used to the bike. The photo below shows the ride on that day.

I am still learning on how to edit good video, and what makes great video – great. One thing that I know, is of course the synchronization of the music and the video. In which the video above has.

One of my friend did make a comment, I put in too much of my bike. Which I have to agree. Despite the fact that the video is about me and my bike, I think people will be more interested with the scenery and the views that I get to enjoy. Hence – I need to reduce the bike videos and add more travel things.
